In the fierce battle for the English Premier League title, the fierce competition between Manchester City and Arsenal has come to an end for the time being, while the strongest enemy of the "1 Brother" Liverpool is the rising Luce! In the early hours of Monday morning (16th), Chelsea beat Brentford 2-1 at home. With five consecutive victories in the league, Chelsea now have two points from just one game, which will help them in their push for the title.
Chelsea took control of the game, launching as many as 26 attacks in the match. In the 43rd minute, the team was able to put the ball in the net through a quick counter-attack by Nicklas Jonasson. And in the 80th minute, Nicolas Jonathan once again showed great speed to seal the win for Chelsea. However, Binford rallied late in the game and it was McBiomo who broke the deadlock in the 90th minute. In just eight minutes, Chelsea were leveled one after the other and received two yellow cards and a red card. Luckily for them, they still held on to their 2-1 lead.
After the match, Chelsea captain Maliska said, "The number of consecutive wins doesn't matter, the most important thing is to face the reality that there is still room for improvement in many areas of our team and we need to identify that correctly." According to Opta, Nicolas Jonathan has scored 23 non-penalty goals so far from the 23/24 season, which is more than Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (22 non-penalty goals). He has certainly become Chelsea's strongest weapon in their challenge to Liverpool.
